When You’re The One

I know I’m chosen and I’ve known that for a long time now. Sometimes it’s easy and other times it’s hard. I’ve gotten used to being people’s “person.” I used to wonder why and say I’m nobody special. I don’t see why people look up to me.

Well guess what I can see exactly why now. Life has taught me to pay attention to myself. I love me and I love the way I love others. I used to fight against who God created me to be as a defense mechanism. I would come off mean and harsh so no one would bother or play with me.

God has taught me that I don’t have to do that. I can be loving, kind, thoughtful, special, and yes, people’s person. I came into work today and a travel nurse walked up to me and hugged me. I thought she was just happy to see me (she was). But she needed more than that. I went to let go and she hugged me tighter. She needed me to hold on to her a little bit longer. So, wrapped my arms around her again and said what’s wrong. She began to share with me and I shared words of encouragement with her.

The thing is if I hadn’t gone through all the things I have, I may not be as sensitive to the spirit to discern certain things. I am indeed a servant and here to serve. That can be difficult depending on where I am mentally. But I just hope and pray that God continue to use me in whatever way He chooses and that I’m willing and able to comply.

Sometimes I don’t know my impact right away but it always comes to light. I’ll keep shining my light in hopes that it’ll brighten any darkness that is shown to me. And that people will see that light and be encouraged to allow their light to shine also.

Until Next Time,
